Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the suggestion was to proceed only when the agreement was with the Inuvialuit, as well as with the Gwich'in and Sahtu. Those claims have been settled. As to how they wanted the legislation to reflect the agreements that they have, specifically, Mr. Speaker, there was the suggestion some time ago that we look at proceeding with amendments to the Wildlife Act to address demands by some of our residents, particularly the armed forces, to reflect their desire to have the right to hunt in the NWT. I think politically that was a specific issue that addressed one segment without waiting for the entire legislation to be considered. As I recall, it was rejected by Members in this Legislature.
